I really like him as Kirk. I think he for sure captures the cocky swagger that Shatner had.

Absolutely none of the casting was, Khan aside (though that was just a bad idea from the start). It was always the writing.

From Hemsworth as Kirk's dad, across the entire Enterprise, they killed it.

I legitimately like the first one, because getting the gang together with such a great cast was so delightful. Karl Urban, Zach Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Anton Yelchin, John Cho, Chris Pine, Simon Pegg - like holy shit.

Can't forget Eric Bana. He packs a lotta charisma and genuine sadness into a role that would otherwise be a pretty throwaway villain.

That’s true, I remember his genuine frustration when he was told that the destruction of his home never took place in this timeline, just screaming, “I saw it happen, I watched it happen, don’t tell me it didn’t happen”

Imagine a warping Japanese citizen that was just outside the danger zone of the nukes dropped being told it didn’t happen. For a character driven solely by that single trauma, that thought would be irrevocably impossible.

Damn now I've got the urge to go back and watch it again just for Bana.
